Our programme reflects a balance between returning artists at audience requests and new artists that have not previously performed at Faldingworth. We seek and value feedback from our audience and their opinions inform and direct our booking policy.****************************************************************************************************************VICKI SWAN and JONNY DYERXMAS SHOWWinter Warmer Saturday 16 December 2018Vicki and Jonny have performed at Faldingworth twice. They have an incredibly varied repertoire which unusually incorporates songs from all over the world. Vicki's lovely voice has been much admired and enjoyed.THE BROADSIDE BOYS Saturday 27 January 2018These guys have performed once before at Faldingworth and we were asked by many members of the audience to invite them back again - so here they are to be followed by BETWEEN THE LINES a four piece band formed from outstanding local artists who are experienced performers and songwriters and have been delighting audiences for years.QUICKSILVERSaturday 24 February 2018Again asked for by the audience following their first performance for Faldingworth - Hilary Spencer has an amazing voice and Grant Bayham is a fine guitar player…..and they are very funny too.SARA GREY & KIERON MEANSSaturday 24 March 2018Now this is a first for Faldingworth, but not for us as we have enjoyed the performance of this mother and son for many years…lovely, lovely gentle songs from a bygone America, which of course contain many musical influences from Europe and the UK…interspersed with droll anecdotesof another time and place.CHRIS SHERBURN, DENNY BARTLEY AND EMILY SANDERSSaturday 28 April 2018Another first at Faldingworth, we first heard this trio line-up at last year's Lincoln Folk Day in the Drill Hall…lots of people will have memories of the previous line-up in Last Night's Fun…and some of the dry humour keeps bubbling through from Chris…who is also a very, very accomplished concertina player. IDIOT AND FRIENDLES BARKER AND KEITH DONNELLYSaturday 18 May 2018These two are funny apart…and even funnier together and we couldn't resist…and yes there are songs too.JAYWALKERSSaturday 9 June 2018First spotted at Wath Festival in 2016…a young band….whose profile is going up nationally …who do lovely three part harmony as well as a huge variety of styles and if you haven't seen before you will want to see again we suspect,…we do!TELL TALE TUSKSaturday 15 September 2018Another first at Faldingworth, four charming young ladies first seen at Broadstairs Festival in 2017…and we instantly decided had to be booked - lovely harmonies - lovely variety and a real attack to their light-hearted and winning performance.ALDEN, PATTERSON & DASHWOODSaturday 6 October 2018Another first at Faldingworth, we saw them perform at Broadstairs. This trio boasts a fine dobro player and a lovely fiddler. Their performance does not necessarily grab your attention instantly but as they continue you find yourself enjoying them more and more…..THE MILE ROSESSaturday 27 October 2018First seen by us at Stainsby Festival in 2017, they have lovely vocals and imaginative instrumentals and were much enjoyed by local audiences in a recent village hall tour. FLOSSIE MALAVIALLESaturday 17 November 2018Not a first at Faldingworth but a much requested return for this amazing French lady with the fabulous voice and a great pair of lungs….only approximately folk music which bothers no folk audience for whom she performs all over the UK as well as for non-folk audiences.CHRISTMAS 2018..we are working on this event!
